Readit NewsSome people claim that China's population is half of what the officials claim.
But the real killer for this proposed use is sharing with others. More that half the time I watch live sports (or the very occasional streamed live concert) it's in a party situation with other people.
No one else can see the game and even if they could, interacting with other people with a giant headset on is a non starter.
I just have to conclude 1 of 2 things:
1) I'm not good at prompting, even though I am one of the earliest AI in coding adopters I know, and have been consistent for years. So I find this hard to accept.
2) Other people are just less picky than I am, or they have a less thorough review culture that lets subpar code slide more often.
I'm not sure what else I can take from the situation. For context, I work on a 15 year old Java Spring + React (with some old pages still in Thymeleaf) web application. There are many sub-services, two separate databases,and this application needs to also 2-way interface with customer hardware. So, not a simple project, but still. I can't imagine it's way more complicated than most enterprise/legacy projects...
Ask the same question of Golang, or Rust, or Typescript.
I have a theory that the large dichotomy in how people experience AI coding has to do with the quality of the training corpus for each language online.
At $84k average household income, assuming 1/3 going to a mortgage would give you $2.3k a month to work with. At 6% interest rate, assuming 20% down payment of $70k, you can just manage a $350k home and that is ignoring taxes, not adding other closing costs, not considering utilities, assuming an interest rate on the lower side and assuming a 20% deposit.
Add tax and that gives you around $1.7k to work with. Assume only putting down 10% and adding in $400 a month to cover utilities then you can manage around $175k home. That rules out buying a house in alot of the US.
And yes, households in more expensive areas make more but if you are buying the average house, that costs $410k you need to be making like double the national average income to stick to the 1/3 rule. How many households are earning $170k where houses are $410k?
Are people just devoting 50%+ of their income to housing? Everyone buying a house with the help of mom and dad? I just really don't get it.
It's 59 years old lol.
Boomers and institutional money are doing the home buying.

In 2009 the same chart shows that the median age was 39.
In the early 80s it was early 30s.
Look at congress, we live in a boomer gerontocracy. Not every boomer is wealthy and powerful, but the majority of people who are wealthy and powerful are either descendants of elites/wealthy, boomers, or a very small fraction of younger tech/finance/business owners.
The good news is - assuming there's not a big change in immigration rates - if you can rent cheaply enough for 10-20 years the boomers will start dying in sufficient numbers that if there is somehow no reversion on home prices in the mean time there should be insufficient buyers at that point and prices will eventually fall.
Every smart person I've met in life so far has known that humility is key if you want other smart people to take you seriously. And to let your work speak for yourself.
It's somewhat similar to those YouTubers who help homeless people on camera. It's a paradox where if it's done on film it seems more self serving than generous but if it wasn't on film no one would know.
But there is a difference. Instead of going on film, smart people can produce actual works for others to read and validate.
Why assume he wants other smart people to take him seriously more than he wants to be authentic?
He "started out" a lot earlier, he wrote a book in 2001 and his written 8 books in total and has publications in academic journals like Cognitive Psychology dating back to 1995.
The world didn't start when LLMs got popular.
